Li Mu's offensive continued.

After conquering Lixia, Li Mu led the army of Zhao to continue to advance, and four days later arrived under Gaowan City, another city of Qi.

It can be seen from the map that the small cities of Gaowan, Di, Qiancheng, Changguo, Bochang, and Drama are like stars and moons, and Linzi is guarded by the arch in it.

It was here that Li Mu encountered the 200,000 Qi army led by Zhou Fen, the prime minister of the Qi State.

In the camp of the Zhao State that had just taken root, Li Mu and the deputy general Zhao Kuo stood side by side, staring at Gao Wancheng not far in front of them.

"Two hundred thousand? Where did so many people come from in the Qi Kingdom? Li Mu snorted and said, "Judging from the prior understanding, the number of skilled fighters who can fight in the Qi Kingdom is only about 50,000 people at most. ”

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "That's right, I heard that Zhou Fen requisitioned all the adult men who could be requisitioned, and forcibly made up 200,000 so-called skilled fighters, even ignoring spring ploughing." ”

Li Mu's brows raised slightly, and he said, "In this way, the famine in Qi this year should be a foregone conclusion." ”

Men have always been the main labor force in the family and the country, and without men working in the fields, it is impossible to sow all the land with the efficiency of this era.

Zhao Kuo sneered and said, "I think Zhou Fen thinks that Qi Guo may not even be able to survive this autumn, so he came up with this desperate strategy." ”

Li Mu let out a sigh of relief and said: "I often hear that 'there is no greater disaster than underestimating the enemy, and the underestimating enemy loses several treasures, so the resistance to the army is added, and the mourner wins." 'Now the momentum of this Qi country is in line with the way of mourning soldiers, so that we can resist our army for so long in a corner of the world. Therefore, this time must not underestimate the enemy, if the enemy is underestimated, then the Qi country may repeat the victory of Jimo! ”

The Battle of Jimo, although not the most fierce war in the Warring States Period, is definitely one of the most legendary wars in the Warring States Period.

Since the people of the Qi State back then were able to rise up and defeat the Yan army in such a desperate situation, Anzhi that today's Qi army will not defeat the strong again with the weak?

After having the experience of the previous battles, Li Mu would never make such a mistake of underestimating the enemy again.

"Pass the order, repair for two days today and tomorrow, and start the attack the day after tomorrow!"

Just as Li Mu was looking at Gao Wan City, Zhou Fen on Gao Wan City was also looking at the Zhao army camp a few miles outside the city.

The new Qi State Prime Minister carefully looked at the Zhao army camp, and then couldn't help but sigh, and said to Kuang Liang beside him: "I look at the Zhao army's cloth camp, and it is tightly fit." When the soldiers marched and set up the formation, the advance and retreat were orderly. With such a strong division, it is no wonder that it can sweep through all countries, and no country can compete with it. ”

It is very interesting to say that everyone knows that there is actually a close connection between Kuang Liang and Hou Sheng, but after Zhou Fen took the position, he did not remove Kuang Liang, but still appointed Kuang Liang as the deputy general of the Qi army this time.

When the envoy appointed by the palace arrived at Kuang Liang's mansion, Kuang Liang even thought that it was the person sent to arrest him, and he had already confessed his last words to his wife and children.

Therefore, for Zhou Fen, Kuang Liang is still more respectful, not to mention that Zhou Fen has always been honest and honest, and he is the object of admiration of everyone in the Qi country, and even Qi Wangjian is quite respectful.

It is precisely with these fame and popular support that even when Hou Sheng was at his most powerful, Hou Sheng did not dare to act rashly against Zhou Fen.

Kuang Liang stared at the Zhao army camp in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Qing, I have fought with the Zhao people many times, when the Zhao army fights, everyone is brave like a tiger descending from the mountain, and everyone is fighting for the lead, and when they are engaged, they are like wolves surrounding and cooperating, plus the main generals such as Lian Po and Pang Xuan are today's first-class famous generals, it is really difficult to resist. ”

Zhou Fen nodded silently.

Although Kuang Liang's words also have the meaning of exculpating himself, Zhou Fen also knows that what he said is indeed the truth.

Since the pinnacle duel in the Battle of Changping, Zhao defeated Qin and reached the top, and the Zhao army has swept the world without a single defeat in the past ten years, which is enough to show the excellence of the Zhao army.

Zhou Fen let out a long breath and said: "It's okay, this time we only defend and don't attack, as long as we don't fight with the Zhao army, then the power of the Zhao army will not be able to be brought into play." ”

Kuang Liang frowned and said, "But if that's the case, how should Zhao Jun's earth-shattering thunder deal with it?" In terms of Gao Wan's city wall, even if Zhou Qing has ordered someone to strengthen it, it may not be enough to resist the earth-shattering thunder of the Zhao army. ”

Ever since the Heaven-Shaking Thunder appeared on the battlefield, it had given the other nations a great shock.

Its power was obvious, the originally tall city wall that gave everyone a sense of security was so vulnerable in the face of the earth-shattering thunder, which made all the monarchs except Zhao Dan feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, since learning about the power of the Earthquake Thunder, the intelligence agencies of various countries have taken the Earthquake Thunder as the highest priority reconnaissance target.

If you can get the secret recipe for the Heaven-Shaking Thunder, it will definitely be a great thing to dream of.

It's a pity that Zhao Guo's secrecy about the Earthquake Thunder is also the highest level, so now that the Earthquake Thunder has appeared for so long, the countries still have no clue about how to make the Earthquake Thunder.

As the war progressed, their understanding of the Heaven-Shaking Thunder gradually increased.

Zhao Guo launched training in order to allow the officers of the Zhao army to better use the Earthquake Thunder, so the use of the Earthquake Thunder was naturally leaked.

Due to the power problem, the earth-shaking thunder is not enough to break through the walls of super cities like Linzi and Xinzheng!

As soon as this news came out, it undoubtedly made several monarchs breathe a long sigh of relief.

But even so, the problem was not solved.

After all, a country is not only the national capital, and the earth-shaking thunder cannot collapse the national capital, but it can blow up other cities except the national capital.

This is the big trouble that Zhou Fen is facing at this moment.

Zhou Fen snorted and said to Kuang Liang: "Didn't the people of the Qin Kingdom send a method on how to deal with the earth-shaking thunder a while ago? Thou shalt try according to the above method. ”

Kuang Liang said with some anxiety: "But Zhou Qing, the methods of the people of the Qin State may not be reliable." ”

Zhou Feng let out a long sigh and said, "Now that it's over, do we have any other choice?" And just prepare. In any case, we must block Li Mu under Gaowan City, otherwise, once Li Mu takes Gao Wan and marches into Linzi, I am afraid that the king's heart will change again! Go ahead, prepare well, this battle is related to the life and death of Daqi, and there must be no negligence! ”
